even 4 string sets are pricey. They costs around $28.
That is why I will stick to electric guitar, I get 8 sets d'addario EXL120 9-42 strings for $20

Yeah but you have to diversify. Everyone plays guitar these days (or at least tries) so you have to be versed in different instruments for when that golden opportunity shows up.

I also own a MIM (Made In Mexico) Fender P-Bass. The previous owner had broken up a 5-string bass set and strung it up.

My strings cost me $40 wherever I go
you should try taking the strings off and using WD to clean them.
you can also try to boil them.
I get in the habbit of cleaning before and after I play using some string cleaner stuff call finger ease.

I usually boil and clean them once, and then its time for a change.

Boil strings?!
I've never heard of someone doing that before.

That's crazy. Just stock up when they're on sale!

That trick is as old as the hills. All it really does is clean the surface of grime, but doesn't return any elasticity.

That's what matters more to me anyway. The elasticity can't be fixed. Anyone can clean strings, though.

+1 although I prefer the XL110s myself. .009s are too slinky for me, they buzz on my ham handed power chords.
I'm more rhythm than lead anyways, so I don't need the slinkiness.

I play leads and .009 is still too thin for me. They break way too easily.
I find I get better tone & feel out of .010's.

Oddly enough, I find bending and vibrato easier on the .10's (once I got used to them). Something about more resistance against my fingers makes it more...pleasurable.
No more .009's for me, esp. since my picking technique is in the medium to heavy range.
